Marcus Alvarez

Contributing Author at PIE Insights

Marc led Drift’s content-to-pipeline motion that generated $120 M in ARR and pioneered the conversational “ungated ebook” strategy. Formerly a journalist at Wired, he pairs narrative craft with data ops—he’s as comfortable debating GPT-RAG architectures as he is mapping a topical authority graph. At PIE he owns brand voice, budget, and the annual “State of Personal-Context AI” report. He serves on the Content Marketing Institute’s advisory board, plays pickup basketball, and collects vintage synthesizers.
